The Sonnets Cxxix - The Expense Of Spirit In A Waste Of Shame Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG

The expense of spirit in a waste of shameA
Is lust in action and till action lustB
Is perjur'd murderous bloody full of blameA
Savage extreme rude cruel not to trustB
Enjoy'd no sooner but despised straightC
Past reason hunted and no sooner hadD
Past reason hated as a swallow'd baitC
On purpose laid to make the taker madD
Mad in pursuit and in possession soE
Had having and in quest to have extremeF
A bliss in proof and prov'd a very woeE
Before a joy propos'd behind a dreamF
All this the world well knows yet none knows wellG
To shun the heaven that leads men to this hellG

William Shakespeare
